2013-01-20 The forbidden education (Spanish with subtitles)

I found this some time ago and consider it to be very interesting.
(Even admitting, I still haven't managed to get through it with my non existent Spanish in spite of the subtitles. ;-))

2012-12-15 Other dots from the field of education

I just stumbled upon this video, of someone, who seems to be a true, wholehearted teacher,
who left the public school system.
He gives his reasons in this video - quite enlightening!

Just thinking about it, maybe, I'll add another related video.

2012-12-04 Competition - Making others fail in order to win

Practically all evils that we face today can in some way be attributed to the principle
of "making others fail in order to win".

Alfie Kohn describes the principle of competition as
"I can only win, if you loose", mentioning examples like golf or bowling.

He describes the more extreme form of this as
"I can only win, if I make you loose", mentioning examples like tennis and war.

At least in that description I do agree with Alfie Kohn, that competition is aggression.
